Lancashire_Lost_Sheep Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Has anyone had any problems with the Season 4 DVD? Just got a Region 2 DVD set from play.com and I found that Disc 4 would not play on either side from about 36 minutes in. I sent that back and the replacement arrived today. It's got exactly the same problem on Disc 4. It either skips and pauses from 36 minutes onward or won't start to play any of the later episodes. Have I just been really unlucky to get two faulty DVD sets or is there known to have been problems with that particular DVD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 You're not the one: I had the same problem with the Season 2; most of the episodes in the b-sides stopped for some second and jumped some minutes after.The 3rd is perfect and the 4th, too, but the disc 4 have little problems both on side A and B.I hope to solve this problems watching them on pc.

Lancashire_Lost_Sheep Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Wonder if it's a specific problem with Region 2 DVDs then. I've not had any problems with Seasons 1 or 2. I tried playing disk 4 on my laptop and it would play longer on there, but still couldn't get it to play all the way through any single episode. Very frustrating!

morgan Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I know what you mean.I don't think it's a problem of the region 'cause one episode of the 2nd season I can't completely see, but I took the disc to my friend and, on her player it was perfect...

Lukas_KD Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 The problem has been known in the US as well. Not sure exactly what it is, but watching all the eps in a season to make sure they worked before the return/replace period was up at the store, and replacing the set if there was trouble (which I had with seasons 2 and 4) worked!

Enos Fan Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I have seasons 1-3 as German releases and 4 & 5 UK releases, and they are all fine. My husband and I have been able to watch 1-3 with no problems. We're now on season 4, but haven't reached the last disc yet. I did start watching some of season 5 episodes and those seem to be doing OK. Sometimes it's not always the discs that are the problem, sometimes it's the players. During the past weekend, I took a movie to my in-laws to play, and the entire bass on the film didn't work, that is, we got only half of the dialogue, and the rest was like reading lips. I thought it was the 'tone' on the disc. Then I checked it on my laptop and it worked fine. I think that sometimes the players have quirks in them that make the discs a bit strange.I do have a little jumping on one of my Quantum Leap discs, which annoys me, but it's on on one episode, so while that disc may be faulty, it wasn't enough to get into a tailspin about. Of course, if the eipisode was my favorite, then I'd be upset. At any rate, my Dukes DVDs seem to be OK, at least up to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traintownofcowee Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Yep, its the same with me. I had the same problem on a portable DVD player. It was with BOTH Seasons 1 & 2! (thats all I have at the moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Strange you have this problem with season 1: I thought it depended by the double-side...and the 1st is the only one that have only 1 side... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enos Fan Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I noticed that they did the double sided discs with seasons 2-5 of what I have. I ordered season 7 from the States, and they aren't double sided. I prefer the discs that are only one sided, but that's just me. Are the DVDs in the US double sided or one sided?I'm flying to Canada later this year, so if I can get season six as one sided DVD then I will probably go that route, even though my husband wants to see the episodes in German.

RogerDuke Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 On season two, disc 4 all my episodes but one are messed up. Each episode works for part of the show but not all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 The strange is that I haven't the problem on the same episodes: for example, "The ghost of General Lee" in italian works good, in english it stopped.No problem with season 6 up to know.

Enos Fan Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I got through season four with no problems. We're now slowly working through season 5, and so far so good. I do have seasons six and seven from the US, but haven't watched many episodes on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgan Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I'm not sure it depends from the dvd reader: i have this problem on my computer,too, even a little less.True is that I started to have same problem even with no-Hazzard dvds...

FLDukefan Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I had this problem with one episode. Can't recall now exactly which one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostinthedukes Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Here in Canada I think the only seasons so far that aren't double sided are seasons 4 5 and 7. The rest are double sided. I watched them all, and so far haven't had too much of a problem. Some times the DVD player, if it isn't proggressive scan, gets a vapor lock and then there is the region where you buy the dvd in too.

Julieduke Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 What is Vapor lock? Now I had to buy Knight Rider Season Two set twice which is also double sided along with the other three season and that thing is copy-protected and fragile I was beginning to thing Boss was working with wal-mart or something. Because for the longest time I couldn't find Knight Rider season sets in a Wal-mart until last year, Lol. Well anyways, back to the problem at hand I had three episodes on the season two set that froze on me and it was might've hit the floor maybe a few times. Just think about the one of the episodes of Knight Rider when Micheal drove through a testing site and then later, Rosco and company drove through the very same thing as well. And on either season six or seven of Dukes Bo and Luke are driving through a fire and in an episode of Knight Rider so does Micheal but his was in Cajun county Lousiana. Well, I did get a another second set of Knight Rider and I avoided dropping it on the floor so much and got to watch the episodes that froze up on me. And discovered something along the way, did you know the helicopter from Airwolf was on a episode of Knight Rider before. And the Battering Ram on Knight of the Juggernacht looks at like the Mean Green Machine on the fifth season of Dukes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostinthedukes Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Vapor lock lol...Is just a slang word for frozen up that's all. Glad you're DVD's are working okay now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancashire_Lost_Sheep Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Im guessing all these problems are from the DVD Player.Not the DVDs.If it was the player I'd expect to have problems with other discs, particularly double sided ones. It seems odd that it's just that one disc and that it also has problems in my laptop, although to a much lesser extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostinthedukes Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Could be a bummed disc. It's happened to me with a Season of ER. I took it back and got a replacement and it works okay. If it still causes you problem, it may be your player. They just don't make electronics like they use to. But to me it sounds like a disc problem. Sorry can't be much more help.

morgan Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Yesterday, I put the 2nd disc of 7th season, side B on my dvd player.After some seconds, it tells me "no disc"; I tryed 3 or 4 times, but the same.I thought "it would be the player that doesn't work!", so I put it in the computer and...same result!The b-side of disc 2 doesn't work!!! I'm soo angry! I hoped not to have other problems, season 5th and 6th are perfect, and the 4th almost!I asked to a friend if he can duplicate it, or give me the disc (he has 2), he has only the original version but I prefer to see it in english that don't see it at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
